During the last test day, I usually test cloud images with virt-install but a few contributor tested it with TestCloud and it didnt work for them.
I ran the basic test case [0] which is part of current validation matrix [1] and it threw me an error too. I am wondering if I am doing something wrong?

Are you in group testcloud?
My system is running python 3.9.0rc2 (default) and Latest F33
usermod -a -G testcloud your_user_name newgrp testcloud
If it doesn't work, try to log out and in.
As said in the traceback, you're not in the testcloud group :)

That workaround works, however, The TC https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Local_Test_Cloud_Installation_Guide doesnt ask for that step to be done. I would go ahead and update that bit.
Hey Sumantro, testcloud errors are best reported to https://pagure.io/testcloud . Unfortunately testcloud has zero documentation and it's not user friendly, so using it is a big pain. In its current state I don't think it's a good fit to recommend it in release validation matrices, but let's have that discussion in #648.
As a simple immediate fix, please include the group instructions in the linked wiki page, but I'm not really sure if it's sufficient or there are more undocumented actions needed.
